In case you forgot..I was one of maybe three people that said Hill was innocent the day his news broke...and the first, here, to suggest his girlfriend was crazy and might have inflated the college scenario.

The biggest reason people are made is jealousy, if 99.9 percent of people had 100 mill in earned wages, felt like they were physically feeling shitty and had a wife about to have their first kid they'd never work again either...**** most people would never work again just with that money value.
It makes people mad to see a young guy step away because frankly they don't have that option. |

Average fan is mad because something like this reminds them they don't get the option to retire at 30 to do whatever they want. |

He said his shoulder rehab in 2016 turned him into someone he didn’t like and if he ever found himself in that position again, he’d choose himself. I guess he felt like this situation was that one all over again.

There were signs that this man was realizing that he found other things in life more rewarding that football, the writing was on the wall. |

These guys get paid a lot of money to risk their bodies for our entertainment. At whatever point they decide they've had enough, it's their right to walk away, and Luck decided to while he still can 'walk' away. People think because they watch the games they're owed something more; it's incredibly childish and selfish. These players are people; and we think nothing of the league chewing them up and spitting them out, discarding them when their bodies break down. When a star decides to leave on his own terms, he's a pussy. Whatever. |

I agree totally bad timing on Lucks part but I don't think he could help it because of the pressure to get back to football shape before the season starts. I doubt he was expecting to retire before the draft and he thought he would be good to go for the season but it just didn't rehab the way it should have. Anyways Andrew Luck has taken a lot of hits moreso than most quarterbacks in the league I think him and A A Ron are the most sacked quarterbacks. Those take a toll on your psyche and I'm sure he would be going full Cassell fetal and not be the same competitor as he once was so whats the point of him taking the field only to not give the Colts 100% and end up being carried off on a stretcher? |

You really have no clue what you speak of. You’re talking to a fan of a franchise that spent the number one overall pick on Jeff “douchebag extraordinaire” George and the 4th pick on Art Schlichter, who’s gambling addiction was so bad that he’s STILL in prison over it. Oh, and we also drafted some dude named Elway, who flat out refused to play for us. Colts fans know what qb purgatory is. Maybe not to the extent that Chiefs fans do, but we know.

Luck was always too smart for the NFL...he just happened to be blessed with the body of a professional QB.
I wouldn't be surprised if he vanishes like Barry Sanders...which makes me like him that much more. He doesn't strike me as a NFL "lifer"...he sized up his situation and said **** it. |

Butt****ing moron. That's not QB purgatory. That's being the Colts. You're about to enter QB purgatory. You will soon know the difference, bundle of sticks. |

As Irsay pointed out, he’s walking away from probably 500 million in future earnings. He must REALLY hate playing football.

It was reported yesterday that he really didn’t start having thoughts about retiring until about two weeks ago. His ankle/calf injury must be worse than being reported and he just said “screw It, I’m done” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think he's probably bored with it...if he gave a shit, he wouldn't be retiring. He just had an amazing season...
He's over it...and with $100 mil in earnings, there was no point in risking his future health. People calling him a pussy are stupid...I would have done exactly what he did. Bye, Bye Papa Johns...find some other sucker to break his neck...to move terrible pizza. |
